What are the major disorders for which Mavik/Trandolapril may be Used? Mavik/Trandolapril, just like other ACE inhibitors, is used for the treatment of following problems: Mavik/Trandolapril is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) : Each and every individual has a blood pressure. This blood pressure helps move the blood all around one’s body. The blood pressure of one’s body generally differs at different times of the day. The problem occurs when the amount of pressure rises from the normal, and if this increase stays for a longer time, it may be life threatening. This is called high blood pressure or hypertension. The normal blood pressure should be 90/140mg. There are number of drugs available to treat hypertension, and Mavik/Trandolapril is one of them. Mavik/Trandolapril is also used for the treatment of congestive heart failure : Heart failure means that the heart muscle is weak and cannot pump blood strongly enough to supply all the blood needed throughout the body. Heart failure is not the same as heart attack and does not mean that the heart stops. Heart failure may start off with no symptoms, but as the condition progresses, patients may feel short of breath or may get tired easily after light physical activity such as walking. Mavik/Trandolapril is also used to treat heart failure. Mavik/Trandolapril is used to lower high blood pressure (hypertension). There are usually no symptoms of hypertension. The only way of knowing that one has hypertension is to have the blood pressure checked on a regular basis by a Medical practitioner. If high blood pressure is not treated it can lead to serious health problems, including stroke, heart disease and kidney failure. Mavik/Trandolapril works by widening the blood vessels in one’s body that in turn reduces pressure in the vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood around the body. Thus Mavik/Trandolapril helps increase the supply of oxygen to the heart, so that whenever there is extra burden on the heart, e.g. exercising, tension, stress, etc. the heart may be able to cope better and thereby one will not feel short of breath as easily.
